Review: Great little hard drive - Excellent little hard drive that I use for extended storage on my PC. Access times are really fast and it's simplicity in itself to set up. If you're looking for a quick and reliable storage option then you could do far worse than this.
Review: Yes please! - Had a really old portable drive that I used for about five years to back up my computers. It was a proper faff having to copy everything on my computer's drive over and over to ensure that I have copied over everything but the software that comes with this allows you to easily backup PCs as after your initial backup every subsequent one just copies over the new files or updates the files that have changed/been deleted. The product overall is of very high quality. Feels premium and works like a charm. No need to plug into the mains as this uses your computer's battery to power it. Since it has USB 3.0 you can copy a huge amount of data in a very short period of time. I was able to copy over roughly 150GB of data in about half an hour. On my previous drive this would have taken four times longer at around two hours! Would definitely recommend this product to anyone. Great for backing up and due to it's very quick read/write speed can also be used effectively as a gaming drive to run steam games from if you have limited HDD space on your PC. Overall very glad I bought this!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes please!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maxtor are fantastic
*by L***E on 10 June 2020*

I own three of these hard drives. A 4TB which runs 24/7, another 4TB backing up the one which runs all day, and now this latest 2TB, which is plugged into the Xbox One. Needless to say, the 4TB backup drive has never been needed. The main drive has been running almost constantly for around 5 years, and never failed once. The drive is perfect for use with the Xbox One. It's simply plug and play and away you go. I don't suffer any penalty on speeds from downloading directly to the HDD. It's close to silent (you won't hear it running), and generates very little heat. The drive is powered by USB (no mains power) and I was able to power it directly from the TV, as well as PC. To address negative reviews, Public Service Announcement : HARD DRIVES FAIL. You should be backing up your data, or else you will always run a risk. HDDs contain moving parts, and wear and tear will eventually get to them. This applies to your built in HDD as much as it does these portable ones. However, Maxtor are as reliable as you are likely to find.
